Napoleon da Legend – “F.L.A.W. (Following Lies Always Wounds)” review

French-American veteran Napoleon da Legend wasting no time on his 30th studio LP. Heads in the underground should already be familiar with him due to the lengthy discography that he’s built up for himself for nearly the past decade including Coup D’État, it’s sequel, Street Universe, Dragon Ball G, the Sicknature-produced Colossus of GOATs, Buckets or the DJ D-Styles-produced Invincibl Rap Mislz & the DJ Rhettmatic-produced Legmatic. He & JR Swiftz came together on the outstanding Great Minds last month, bringing Giallo in the fold again on F.L.A.W. (Following Lies Always Wounds).

“Chasing Shadows” ominously kicks off Napoleon’s 2nd body of work this year by talking about being on the verge of doing something drastic whereas “Life or Death” featuring Jay Royale finds the pair talking about this being survival of the fittest. “That Ain’t It” keeps it in the basement to break down the concept of hustling on the daily prior to “Welcome 2 the Theater” featuring Ghost Machine working in some strings referencing WWE Hall of Famer, former 3-time WWE world champion, 3-time WWE United States Champion, 2-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 9-time WWE tag team champion, 8-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion, アイアンマンヘビーメタル級チャンピオン & The Crash’s inaugural Mundial Pesocompleto Campeon Rey Mysterio.

Invisible Handz joins Napoleon for the drumless “Unforgiving” talking about the game never being fair from what they understand & their former opps ain’t breathing no more leading into “No Morals” returning to the boom bap suggesting that conscious hip hop & gangsta rap are the same other than being packaged differently. “Doing What I Gotta Do” speaks of one doing what has to be done in order to get by, but then “Nesquik” eerily talks about making everyone take Ls quickly.

“Solar Opposites” featuring Eloh Kush finds the 2 including a reference to SpaceX founded by Tesla CEO, Neuralink founder & Nazi Elon Musk while “Motivation” hollowly talks about everyone having it if it was much easier. Sunez Allah teams up with Napoleon on the title track so they can explain one always being wounded by following lies while the piano-driven “Peace” talks sitting back & counting his stacks.

Nejma Nefertiti appears for “Presume the Unpredictable” to get the final moments of F.L.A.W. (Following Lies Always Wounds) calling themselves the deadliest you’ve ever seen on the mic from the womb to the tomb & the closing track “Marathon” completes the 2nd consecutive classic in Napoleon’s catalog within 2 months tackling the Japanese philosophy of having 3 faces.

Exactly 4 weeks after Great Minds marked the halfway point of the first month of this year, Napoleon gets back with another album maintaining the high quality underground hip hop that it’s predecessor & even Legmatic achieved. Giallo Point’s production is on par with JR Swiftz’ & although I will say I wasn’t as big on the features since I preferred the couplet of guests last time, I appreciate Napoleon warning everyone of the consequences that come with following lies.

Score: 4.5/5

Brother Ali – “Satisfied Soul” review

Here we have the 9th studio LP from Minneapolis, Minnesota activist & battle emcee Brother Ali. Exploding within the underground off his 2003 sophomore effort Shadows in the Sun & of course his 2007 follow-up The Undisputed Truth, he would continue this string of acclaimed releases with Us as well as the Jake One-produced Mourning in America & Dreaming in Color and All the Beauty in This Whole Life. Can’t forget to mention Ali’s debut EP Champion, his debut mixtape Left in the Deck or the Evidence-produced Secrets & Escapes either. His 4th EP Brother Minutester marked his departure from Rhymesayers Entertainment after nearly 2 decades, reuniting with Ant on Mello Music Group for Satisfied Soul almost a year after Love & Service.

The title track is a rap rock intro showing confidence of himself being the only one who can injure himself whereas “Deep Cuts” hooks up some pianos to talk about it always being love from his end calling God the eternal & everlasting. “Higher Learning at the Skyway” brings the guitars back in the equation wanting to make sure one’s speaking the lexicon just before the gospel-influenced “Drum” talks about gathering around the instrumental like a campfire.

Meanwhile on “The Counts”, we have Ant keeping it a little funky so Ali can address those who stay ready to count him out whenever they get the chance to do so leading into “Cast Aside” talking about being unable to describe having too much to say. “Ocean of Rage” kinda has a jazzy boom bap vibe letting y’all know to catch him by the moonlight letting the cool breeze through, but then “Under the Stars” explains you can’t do what you want when nobody wants you.

“Personal” goes for a more stripped back approach trying not to take shit personally & letting you be the first to know if he ever changes while “2 Dudes” brings the pianos back in the fold getting distracted by the city lights in an effort to navigate correctly. “Better But Us” soulfully talks about things improving other than a relationship where he & his partner fight & fuss while “Name of the One” talks about praise getting raised in the rays of the sun.

As for “Immortalized”, the pianos seep in once more calling himself an authorized street preacher while “Head Heart Hands” talks about getting all 3 of those parts of him right. The summery “Mysterious Things” sounds observes the enigma of human beings while the song “Handwriting” talks about seeing his impossible dreams become reality. “Sing Myself Whole” ends Ali’s debut with MMG showing his singing chops feeling all alone.

If the Rhymesayers mainstay’s gonna make himself at home with Mello Music Group going forward, then what a way to make his debut on the label. Ant’s production feels like a sonic mosaic of dusty drums, warm vinyl crackle & ghostly rhythms that feel like they’ve been pulled from the deep pockets of America’s forgotten record shops to make room for Brother Ali’s thought provoking, spiritual lyrics full of jagged self-reflection & unflinching critique rooted in hope & defiance.

Score: 4.5/5

unConventionAl KingZ – “UKMF (AZ2KC)” review

The unConventionAl KingZ are a duo from Phoenix, Arizona consisting of High Deafinician & Lowkey tha Wizard known for their unique fusions of hip hop, rock music, country music & funk music. They appeared on The Bootleg Kev Podcast around this time a year ago to kick a freestyle that was so dope, that Strange Music founders Tech N9ne & Travis O’Guin signed the duo to their It Goes Up Entertainment subsidiary for their official full-length debut album following a total of 6 singles.

“Kingmaker” produced by Lowkey tha Wizard is a rap rock intro letting everyone listening know as to who the fuck they are whereas “I’m Down” takes a funkier vibe instrumentally talking about being down for whatever. “Round Me” featuring Taebo tha Truth finds the trio getting together to tell those who have negative energy they can hit the bricks whilst elevating while “Run Away” gets goes rap rock once again talking about making a runaway.

Mario Casalini brings a more playful vibe to “Up, Up & Away” showing a boastful side to the duo lyrically just before “Shadows” featuring Joey Cool & Lex Bratcher shows the rap rock influences once more talking about a free woman you can find in every city. “Ashes in the Wind” passionately maintains the fusion of hip hop & rock expressing the plans that were previously made burning, but then “Mexico” blends country rock & rap homaging the country it’s named after.

“Brown Skin Cowgirl” keeps the sounds of the previous cut in tact talking about the type of woman who’ll drive you wild while “Feeling Me” wanting to know why certain people can’t keep it real with either one of them. “Enemy Lines” asks who exactly does everyone else think they’re fucking with while the trap-rock hybrid “Execution” featuring Big Doobie & Tech N9ne talks about no one being able to handle the death of the condemned.

King Iso appears for “Iron Addicts (The Anthem)” venturing beyond rap rock in favor of rap metal as the trio pretty much give a middle finger to the concept of rehabilitation while “I’m Free” featuring X-Raided talks about the trio each having a strong sense of freedom. “We the People” featuring Lex Bratcher & Wrekonize points out not knowing what tomorrow brings watching out for evil while “U.S.A.” salutes those who’ve fought for our country whether it be past or present.

“Hustlin’” soulfully shows off the KingZ’ continuous grind referencing 10-time WWE world champion, 2-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 5-time WWE Tag Team Champion, United Football League (UFL) co-owner, TKO Group Holdings board of directors member & $7 Productions co-founder The Rock who appeared on the developmental NXT brand’s New Year’s Evil V last month while “W.A.D.S.A.N. (Work All Day, Smoke All Night)” featuring New Oracle talks about the relatable theme of keepin’ it movin’ & getting stoned at the beginning & end of each day. The song “Mary Jane” shows appreciation for marijuana over a trap rock instrumental while “The Way It Goez” talks about the industry turning friends into foes. “On My Mind” concludes the LP by melodically admitting they didn’t think they’d get this far.

It totally makes sense for a group as unique as the unConventionAl KingZ to sign with It Goes Up Entertainment & Strange Music because UKMF (AZ2KC) captures their whole style stronger than their Bootleg Kev freestyle did. Their production shows influences of all 4 genres that helped their name grow bigger in the underground, both past & present Strange Music artists all fit in with the duo fluidly & their songwriting makes their case as a dominant force in Arizona hip hop.

Score: 4/5

NEMS – “America’s Sweetheart” review

Brooklyn, New York emcee NEMS celebrating Valentine’s Day by putting together his 5th studio LP. Coming up in the battle rap circuit, he would go on to have a brief stint with Psycho+Logical-Records in the late 2000’s before dropping the debut Prezident’s Day under Creative Juices Music back in 2010. This was followed up almost 9 years later when he & JAZZSOON teamed up for the damn near flawless Gorilla Monsoon, but the follow-up Congo received more mixed results despite it’s highlights like “Wow” & “Cousins”. Paul Rosenberg signed the Mayor of Coney Island to Goliath Records & Virgin Music in the summer of 2023 for his Scram Jones-produced Goliath debut Rise of the Silverback which I liked more than Congo, building further anticipation ahead of America’s Sweetheart.

Following the “America’s Intro”, the first song “Go Fat Boy” produced by Cartune Beatz was a fun hardcore hip hop & boom bap lead single warning that your face will get cut quickly if you talk shit to him whereas “CTE” keeps it in the basement courtesy of Vinny Idol to get on his battle rap shit lyrically. “My Side” featuring Millyz finds the 2 dabbling with trap a bit stealing your bitch while “2 Live & Die in NY” featuring Leeky Bandz maintains a trap vibe thanks to Statik Selektah talking about his home state.

“Gunther” not to be confused with the current World Heavyweight Champion, the longest reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion & former PWG World Champion whose Imperium tag partner in former 2-time NXT Tag Team Champion Ludwig Kaiser is dating the current WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton returns to the boom bap airing out his grievances towards a woman who holds genuine hatred towards him just before the 2-parter “Coney Island” represents the part of Brooklyn that made him who he is today. “Light the Room” hooks up some organs maintaining a dusty edge once again belittling everyone who wants to step up to him, but then “God’s Hands” shows an inspirational side to the Fuck Ya Lyfe general talking about everything being God’s plans & not yours.

Tony Touch joins NEMS on the horn-infused “Afuera” aggressively making it clear that absolutely no one wants smoke with either of them while “Amouna” talks about trying to get right & everything in him died. “Big Shot” brings a trap flare back to the table flexing his newfound popularity in recent years & “Viral” featuring Dios Moreno ends America’s Sweetheart promising to keep winning whether others like it or not.

After the “America’s Reintroduction” skit, “Son Shines” starts the deluxe run with a Shortfyuz instrumental talking about the rain clearing up whenever he steps out during a rainy day while “Zoo” reminds everyone where he comes from over more horns. “Count It Out” talks about it taking a while for him to get his foot through the door over a Ron Browz beat & the final bonus track “Go Realer” dustily suggests you do your research.

A year & a half after signing to a major label, the Mayor of Coney Island reinforces his status by cooking up an album that showcases his gritty lyricism & charismatic storytelling paired with his signature humor & wit even if I think the production on the predecessor was more consistent. The same can be said about the guests even though I can appreciate him bringing on a lesser amount than he did last time.

Score: 3.5/5

Josiah the Gift – “The Happening” review

This is the 7th full-length studio LP from Brooklyn, New York emcee Josiah the Gift. Emerging in the late 2010s by releasing his first 2 EPs Jack Johnson & Raw, he later broke out within the underground back in the summer of 2020 off his acclaimed debut album Iron Mic. His profile continued to elevate with the debut mixtape Remain Raw, the sophomore effort Mightier Than the Sword as well as the sequel, the True Cipher-produced TOGO, God’s Gracious, The Glorious Si’s eponymous debut & his previous album Lavish Language from last summer. Over 5 months later, Machacha’s being listed to fully produce The Happening.

“Jeux” featuring Vega7 the Ronin sets the tone of what’s to come with both of them over a drumless loop talking about the flowers they tried to water being hydrophobic whereas “Honor” featuring Willie the Kid taking the boom bap route showing off a savage psychiatry. “Guess Who” featuring Eddie Kaine reminds that they were the ones down with the drama & left in the end leading into “Thor” stripping the drums asking how you want it.

M.A.V. joins Josiah on “Royalties” returning to the boom bap talking about stacking up their dough & “Teflon” keeps it in the basement instrumentally showing us what his legend status has made out of. “The Lord is My Sheppard” aggressively makes it a mission for him to go hunting for dead meat while the flute-tinged “Heroes” talking about every single way that people could imagine a hero being refusing to get political in the process.

“When the Pen Hits” brings the woodwind-heavy boom bap sound back in the fold once again boasting his lyrical ability that’s been elevated, but then “The Reality” featuring Jamil Honesty talks about being prisoners feeling the conviction beforehand asking why they have to comprise themselves for their safety. “Trivial” finishes my new favorite Josiah project with him over a vocal sample turning shit into gold possibly only bodying your soul with his skills.

Familiarizing myself with the Gift of the Umbrella several years ago through several features he’s done, his first offering of 2025 & the Lavish Language follow-up surpasses his debut from 5 years ago as the strongest & most cohesive thing he’s ever done. Machacha’s production outstandingly balances drumless & boom bap on top of the well-assessed guest appearances leveling Josiah’s penmanship.

Score: 4.5/5

D. Savage – “We Love D. Savage” review

D. Savage is a 28 year old rapper & songwriter from Los Angeles, California who signed to Victor Victor Worldwide & Capitol Records for his debut EP D Phoenix & the full-length debut Trust No One shortly after his debut mixtape Born a Savage dropped. The sophomore effort BPL marked his debut for EMPIRE Distribution & with the 2-year anniversary of Mafia Musik approaching in a few days following this ongoing weekend, D.’s dropping his 4th studio album to coincide with Valentine’s Day.

“Kick ‘Em Out” starts the album with a plugg instrumental talking about hoes not wanting him back then & all of the sudden wanting him now that he’s becoming a popular artist whereas “Woozy” turns the cloudiness up so he can get fucked up off the lean he poured up. “2025” flexes that he got all the hoes he wants without it even mattering ahead of “Slow Rise” talking about refusing to slow down.

The intoxicating atmosphere of “Like Me” is fitting telling this woman he sees running around that she won’t find anyone else on his level out here leading into “Been a Joint” featuring 310babii finds the pair talking about building an EMPIRE a lot like the label D. Savage is signed to. “How Many Grams?” wants to know the exact amount of weed that was put into the blunt prior to it being rolled while “Palm of My Hand” asking why the fuck everyone soft as they are nowadays.

“Donut” featuring Dave Blunts brings the 2 together wanting to have fun & the killas by their side going up with them just before “inthej” featuring the streamer who finally got DJ Akademiks cancelled PlaqueBoyMax addresses every single person who wants to see them down & failing. “Geek’d Up” featuring Ty$ pours up the lean high enough where it’ll knock them out, but then “Until I Fall” boasts being as wealthy one of the greatest boxers of all-time & Mayweather Promotions founder Floyd Mayweather.

As for “Sin4thewin”, the conclusion of We Love D. Savage draws even closer getting back on his bullshit carrying a machete on him taking his meds to calm his ass down “Fr!ed” rounds out the LP by talking about being back in his bag grindin’ on the road & geeking up with 100 other rich homies outside with him as well as promising to kick the asses of anyone he catches speaking ill of him.

Given that I’ve never reviewed D. Savage up until now, I was first introduced to him when D Phoenix came out & felt that he was a good fit for Victor Victor until his departure. We Love D. Savage as far as his EMPIRE output goes stands as my new favorite compared to his last couple offerings. It’s produced better, the guest-list is tight & he returns after almost 2 years to deliver some of the most enjoyable performances I’ve heard from him in a while.

Score: 3.5/5

Fat Ray – “Food From the Gods” review

Detroit, Michigan veteran Fat Ray returning after 4 years for his 4th album. A member of the trio B.R. Gunna alongside Black Milk & Young RJ, he would eventually go solo in 2008 by dropping the criminally slept-on The Set Up, but it wouldn’t be until a full decade later when it was followed with both The Lunch Room mixtape & then his sophomore effort Perseus. Santa Barbera proved to be the strongest since his debut & he’s taking it back to where it all began on Food From the Gods.

After the “From the Gods” intro, the first song “Elderberry” starts with a trippy boom bap instrumental wanting to know how to sow & reap whereas “Talcum” psychedelically talks about having that powder. “Cane” featuring Guilty Simpson works in a guitar sample to warn that you’ll get popped for playin’ with them, but then “Just Say No” featuring Danny Brown fuses jazz rap & drumless together cautioning that this ain’t chess.

“Double It” continues the sampling boasting that he’s been doubling up while “Franky Lymon” featuring Bruiser Wolf atmospherically talks about who these hoes think they are. “El Hongo (The Mushroom)” explains that you either fight or fly heading for a rap rock vibe just before the orchestral “Stash” talks about cashing ruling. The final song “Gotta Know” ahead of the “Daily Bread” outro charismatically shows off his brilliance to finish his best album since his debut.

Over 15 years after Black Milk helped cook up Ray’s acclaimed debut, they get back together for a successor that show’s how much both of them have grown since then. Granted that Food From the Gods can be quirky sometimes, it’s mostly a grimey sonic ride through the streets of the Motor City with raw tales told through the lens of the ever so sharp & witty standout of the Bruiser Brigade crew.

Score: 4.5/5

Yung Fazo – “Zo” review

Yung Fazo is a 19 year old up-&-coming recording artist from New York City notable for making waves in the plugg & rage subgenres of trap music by releasing a total of 2 EPs & a full-length debut studio album only halfway through the current decade. He dropped off a couplet of tracks last spring & granted it’s only been 9 months since, he’s back with a sophomore effort a little over 26 months after he broke down the internal conflict he was prominently portraying during the course of the last LP.

“B4U” kicks the door down with this rage-inducing opener produced by Ginseng telling his romantic interest exactly how much he adores her whereas “Ed Hardy” references the current TNA World Tag Team Champion in his 3rd reign & inaugural 4th Rope World Tag Team Champion Jeff Hardy of The Hardy Boyz. “Bang Bang” cautions to be careful if you ever step around his parts since he’ll let the chopper sing, but then “All in Motion” electronically switches up his flow to talk about ambition, heartbreak & self-discovery.

Moving on from there, “Bring It Back” works in some catchy synthesizers to discuss the woman he’s currently seeing being different & that he’s been fighting demons trying to move on while “Fuk Love” gets back on the hypertrap vibes pondering if the drugs are really fucking up his soul leading into “Moving On” telling his ex he doesn’t want to do her wrong.

“Me, Myself & I” tells a hoe that he’s gonna blow telling her that he wishes he could love except he’s off that drank while the synth-heavy “Psycho” talks about being insane after a girl that he was seeing observed his psychosis. “Run” throws it back to “Headlines” by Drake acknowledging that he knew he would make bands while “Geeked Up” brings back the rage talking about being geeked.

The penultimate track “Rip My Soul” begins the final moments of Yung Fazo’s full-length studio debut coming clean of the biggest mistake in his life being him giving his heart away being on the go as of late with n9ck & the closer “Kurt Cobain” takes it’s name after the iconic Nirvana frontman feeling exactly like him after a bitch has fucked him up leaving a couple scars after stabbing him in the back in the end.

Compared to his 2022 debut, I find myself gravitating more towards Fazo’s highly-anticipated successor than a lot of what I’ve heard from him until now. The production is heavily built around the rage sound & by the title taking its name from an abbreviation of his moniker, he lets listeners in as to who he is personally.

Score: 3.5/5

WTM Solid – “Imagine That” review

Detroit rapper WTM Solid putting out his long-awaited debut studio album. A member of the WRLD Tour Mafia, he also embarked on a solo career of his own beginning a couple years ago with the debut EP Originatour followed by both Matter of Time & What’s the Difference?. The most recent EP in his catalog Bigg dropped last spring shortly following Tourmania II & became my favorite of the 4 that Solid has put out. 9 months later, he’s ready to take his career to the next level on Imagine That.

“Nobody” sets the tone of what’s to come with a sample-driven trap opener flexing that no one can fuck with him whereas “Umbrella” maintains a prominent Detroit trap sound instrumentally talking about it being go-time after being pissed off. “Richer Than Them” featuring Warhol.Ss brings the 2 together so they can discuss working too hard to lose everything for nothing while the synth-based “Ballin’ a Bitch” talks about understanding the way shit get sometimes.

As for “Can’t Relate”, we have Solid maintaining the Detroit trap vibes breaking down the fact that nobody around him is fake & getting his shit together just before “Not My Hoe” talks about being a God & assuming that he probably got resurrected. “Joaquin Guzman” uncannily suggests to feed your family instead of that nonsense if you really wanna be gangsta leading into “Lani” confessing he wants to put Rick Owens on his daughter.

“To the Max” featuring Rafa & Samuel Shabazz finds the trio joining forces to dabble with plugg a bit interestingly taking shots at people tryna be them when they can be themselves while “Girls Around the WRLD” puts a heavy chopped & screwed effect on his vocals even with the Detroit trap beat. “Krusty Krab” asks what the fuck $20k is when he’s a trillionare while “Best of You” featuring WTM Re clarifying that they can’t tell you of the shit they involved in.

To get Imagine That’s final leg going, “Now You Get It” wants to know why every song that wins of these muhfuckas be making lately be about a specific opp in mind referring to himself as rightfully being fresher while “No Tomatoes” talks about keeping your shit away from him since he don’t fuck with flukes. “Venom” laughs off the stupidity of people nowadays calling them wack on the mic anyway & “Toast Up” featuring CL4Y ends the album talking about being a different breed.

All 4 of the EPs in WTM Solid’s discography has all been building up to this point & with Bigg showing considerable improvement above its predecessors, I was confident that Imagine That was going to take it even higher & that’s exactly what it does. I find the production to be on par with the EP that came out last spring & lyrically, Solid goes even harder than he did 9 months ago.

Score: 4/5

The Punchline Academy – “The Punchline Playbook” review

The Punchline Academy is a collective formed by The Bronx, New York producer, videographer, entrepreneur & Sirius XM host Da Inphamus Amadeuz. Exemplifying what it means to be a modern hip hop mogul, he brings together a powerhouse roster featuring iconic names & underground talents to bridge hip hop’s golden era with its evolving modern landscape on the Academy’s first lesson being taught through their full-length debut studio album entirely produced by none other than it’s leader.

Onyx & Ricky Bats get together for a 5 minute freestyle as the intro with Onyx outshining Ricky over a horn-heavy boom bap instrumental whereas “Delay the Drama” by Styles P & Blazin was a great choice of a lead single as they get together telling y’all to come fuck with the real. “It’s Like a Jungle” by Blazin, Kiko Medina, Rah tha Ruler, Shortee Sha, Spittin Image & Tahmell brings the sextet together to showcase their punchline abilities in 3 & a half minutes, but then “Another Day” by Amber Simone & Tahmell heads for a jazzy boom bap direction giving a look at another day in their lives.

“Can’t Do Nothing Right” by G. Dep showcases how much he still has it lyrically even if one of my top 10 producers of all-time Ye or the Nazi formerly known as Kanye West is demanding that disgraced Bad Boy Entertainment founder Puff Daddy a.k.a. P. Diddy or Diddy should be freed from federal custody & even going as low as to release Free Puff merch on his Yeezy webstore in a 50/50 collaboration with Diddy’s own fashion-line Sean John when his abuse of women has been well documented at this point just before “ICU” gives Rah tha Ruler a chance to shine on his own.

Kiko Medina & Tahmell link back up with each other on “Dope Spot” refusing to stop until they run the whole block while “Keeping the Culture” by Da Inphamus Amadeus himself reminds the world of his MCing skills coming off The Diam Piece 3: Duo last month. “Character” by Rah tha Ruler, SOS Bishop & Spittin Image addressing those who wanna know if they feel the pressure while “Air Traffic Control” by Canibus & Tahmell flexes how fly they are. “I Don’t Like That” by Blazin, Kiko Medina, Rah tha Ruler & Tahmell ends the colelctive’s debut expressing their dislikes in people.

This guy has proven himself as a driving force both on stage & behind the scenes moving hip hop culture forward, so for him to come together by naming this new collective after his weekly show on SiriusXM’s Shade 45 only makes sense. His production is primarily based in the traditional boom bap sound & all the guests showcasing their punchline abilities. If there’s an ever another lesson in The Punchline Playbook as its title suggests, I think the saga could get even better as it is with time.

Score: 4/5
